Conexiom alternative for distributors

What Conexiom is built for, according to its website

• Conexiom presents itself as AI order and invoice automation for manufacturers and distributors. Its main product, Relay, is described as taking orders and invoices, flagging what needs attention and handing them off as ERP-ready data.
• Its Relay page names orders and invoices as the documents it handles, and its Solutions page lists sales orders, vendor acknowledgements and AP invoices. The pages we read do not mention RFQs or quotes.
• It says Relay reads virtually any format: email, PDF, images, spreadsheets, SMS, ecommerce and handwritten notes.
• It describes three steps: capture (receive and sort the document, extract line items and part numbers), resolve (validate against your master data) and deliver (send ERP-ready data to your ERP).
• When an order needs a person, it says the hand-off comes with the reason in clear language. Its Assist feature lets a user describe a correction once and applies it to the affected lines, and the page says nothing sticks until the user approves. Playbook keeps what Relay learns about each customer as plain-English rules a team can read, edit and lock.
• It states native integrations with more than 40 ERPs, including Epicor, SAP, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle NetSuite and Sage, names Epicor Eclipse and Prophet 21 as delivery targets, and says no changes to your ERP are required.
• It states a 30-day average implementation timeline. The pages we read show no prices; the call to action is “Request a demo”.

Conexiom also publishes a position on supervision. A blog post dated 12 June 2025 argues that a process that still needs a team to review, fix or validate transactions every day is not automated. Its product pages, as above, describe a hand-off to a person for orders that need one.

What Qotora AI is built for

• Qotora AI prepares a quote. A customer’s request arrives as an email, a PDF, an Excel or CSV file, a photo of a handwritten list, a pasted text message or a voice note, and Qotora AI finds each line in your own catalogue.
• Prices come from your own catalogue data and the rules you set: customer tiers, discounts and margins. Qotora AI never invents a price or a margin.
• A person on your team reviews every quote before it is sent. This is a position, not a limitation: a quote commits your prices to a customer, so we think a person should approve it. There is no automatic sending.
• It is read-only on your ERP and the software you already use, and never writes into it. It prepares quotes; it is not an invoice-processing or order-entry tool.

Conexiom and Qotora AI side by side

How requests, your ERP and setup differ in practice

Requests. Both tools read what customers send in many formats. The difference is what the document is. Conexiom’s pages are about orders and invoices that you want captured, validated against your master data and delivered into your ERP. Qotora AI is about the customer who asks “how much for all of this?” in an email, a spreadsheet, a photo or a voice note, and needs a correct priced quote back.

Your ERP. Conexiom delivers into the ERP: it lists more than 40 native integrations and says no ERP changes are required. Qotora AI goes the other way. It connects to Odoo through a direct, read-only connector. For any other system, such as Sage 100, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or QuickBooks, our team sets up a read-only connection to the database, or a scheduled export that Qotora reads, during onboarding. We do not claim a native or certified integration with those systems. Qotora reads your catalogue, stock and prices and never writes into your ERP; when a customer accepts, your team enters the order as it does today.

Setup. Conexiom states a 30-day average implementation timeline. For Qotora AI, our team does the connection, loads your price rules and reproduces your quote template, and setup is included in every plan. You can book a free consultation before paying anything, and there is a 7-day money-back guarantee from your first quote sent.

Where Conexiom may be the closer fit, and where Qotora AI may be

Conexiom may be the closer fit if your bottleneck is data entry: a high volume of purchase orders, vendor acknowledgements and invoices that you want captured, validated and delivered into your ERP with as little handling as possible. Its pages describe exactly that, with the ERP as the destination and a long list of native integrations.

Qotora AI may be the closer fit if your bottleneck is answering requests: customers who ask for prices in whatever form, and a counter team that has to look up every line, apply a different price for each customer and send a quote that is correct. The destination is a reviewed quote that goes to your customer, not a record in your ERP.

The two can sit side by side: one handles the orders customers place, the other the quotes that come before them.

Questions to put to any automation vendor

1. Is the output a record in my ERP, or a document I send to a customer?
2. Where does every price on a quote come from, and can I trace it to my own data?
3. Who approves the result before it leaves or posts: a person, or a rule?
4. What happens when a line could be several products: does it guess or ask?
5. Does it write into my ERP, or only read from it, and how is it connected to my version?
6. What does it cost per month, what does setup cost, how long does it take, and what happens if it does not fit?
